Comment:

Lectures have attendance taken because you can't learn from anywhere else, and she makes it impossible to learn there. No notes, nothing. Just hope you heard what she said. Heavy and unfair grader, don't expect an even decent mark if she disagrees with your thesis. Also, lecture pop quizzes that spring up out of nowhere, somehow even in seminar.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable on what she teaches, but pretty poor at delivering it. Most lectures lacked anything engaging for students and leaved little room for effective note taking outside of jumbled analysis. On top of that, she and the TA are pretty harsh markers that don't like seeing anything but regurgitated, null information from lectures.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had. It seems like she is never prepared for lecture. She mumbles, and if you pay attention to what she is saying she repeats the same idea several times in one sentence, just reworded. She does not know how to help students and when you ask her one question, you're left with many more after her answer.

Comment:

Liz was by far the worst professor I've had. She was such a difficult grader, and her comments on papers and quizzes was condescending and rude. She was not helpful at all, and didn't seem like she had student's best interests at heart. Her lectures were so boring, she talked very quietly and most of her lectures were just plot summary anyways.

Comment:

Elizabeth is very old school, she is completely disconnected from her students. Her lectures are super long and super boring, she uses no visual aids and does not post her lecture notes. In order to pass, you will have to show up to class. I will never take another one of her classes again, did not help my average at all.

Comment:

Lectures were extremely boring and completely one sided. She refuses to accept the opinions or statements that are different than her own. Not very approachable and kind of rude to students as well! Will never take another one of her classes again, thats for sure!

Comment:

Lectures can be boring but she does try to make it fun sometimes. If you don't participate in seminar she gets salty. LOTS OF READING. had her for 2P83 too, very similar. not very helpful when asked about essays/thesis construction & admits she isn't good at exam review. try to take other courses if you're an English major who needs the credits.

Comment:

Lizs lectures are unorganized & unprepared. She does not use visual aids which hinders the learning of majority of her students. She is incredibly soft spoken & without personality. Her lectures are dry, long & seemingly unimportant. It is hard to evaluate what information is most important in her lectures & what will be found on tests and exam

Comment:

Years ago now... Had her for Shakespeare in 2nd + 4th years and Milton in 3rd year. Every time was roughly the same - regurgitate the ideas she gives in lecture if you want a good grade. Not a difficult concept when you think about it, but a bit stunting. 2nd year Shakespeare was the only course of hers in which I felt I had a little freedom.

Comment:

Liz is not welcoming of perspectives that are different than her own, and makes this clear both during seminar discussions and in her comments on essays. Don't expect to do well with her grading your papers unless your ideas are the same as hers, any original thoughts or ideas on the students part are "invalid" and will get you a C- if you're lucky

Comment:

Terrible. Mocked me for being shy, and when I became too anxious to attend her seminar, mocked me further. This was 4 years ago now, but other reviews indicate she hasn't changed, so I might as well throw in my 2 cents!

Comment:

Ms. Campbell is a TERRIBLE professor. After she told me I should drop out because I shouldn't be in university (instead of offering help or helping in some manner), I pushed through for two more years and then took a few years off before completing my degree. Her criticism not only set me behind but sent me into therapy. Avoid Her!

Comment:

Elizabeth is a good lecturer, the only place which she could benefit from is looking at broader perspectives of each play rather than just one or two possibilities. She is an excellent seminar leader, does a very good job of forcing students to perform higher level thinking and analysis. Would take again!

The most pretentious teacher I have ever met in my life -- which is the opposite of what true education and learning is. There is little wisdom and critical thinking.

Comment:

Although she is very knowledgable and gives excellent lectures, she is an extremely hard marker. Although I am an overall A student, in her class I barely made it through. I loved her lectures, but I felt like a failure as a student because of her harsh feedback. I felt overwhelmed by her high expectations.

Comment:

While Campbell is undeniably knowledgeable, she seems to have little patience for ideas other than her own, which makes seminar with her scary and uncomfortable. After having her two times, I now either switch seminars or drop classes altogether if she's my TA or professor.

Comment:

Dr. Campbell is a very nice person in general, but is not helpful in critically analyzing papers. If you go to her office hours for help, she will not be helpful - there is no way of knowing what she wants. Though her lectures have good quality to them, I find them difficult to pay attention to because she can be monotone and too soft at times.

Comment:

I have an overall A average in my final year of university, but somehow BARELY passed this course. The grading, especially for a 2nd year course, was unreasonable. She is not personable or friendly. She lectured by only speaking at the front of the room & never used any sort of visual aids, media or technology. Very dry lectures. Deplorable.

Comment:

I have had her as a TA four times & a prof twice and i find she is better suited as a professor. she is extremely knowledgable in her field but is rude and lacks patience in her seminars. instead of redirecting one's thought process in a meaningful manner, she will outrageously embarrass you on your ideas and opinions in front of the entire class

Comment:

Professor Campbell is very well-spoken and clear in her lectures. She knows what she's talking about and makes good use of historical material and critical sources. She's a fair marker but can be hard if you don't put in the effort. She's willing to reward students who show up to class and put in the time. Overall very enjoyable and approachable!
